Rumour: Lexus NX crossover might be launched in India

Thanks to BHPian V.Narayan for sharing this information with other enthusiasts!

Lexus is reportedly considering to introduce the NX crossover in India sometime in the future. The NX is an entry-level model in the SUV and crossover line-up of the Japanese carmaker.

Lexus had recently unveiled a mid-life facelift of the NX crossover at the Shanghai Motor Show this year. This facelift came with some cosmetic updates on the outside, a new infotainment system and some tweaks to the suspension system. If the NX is indeed introduced in the Indian market, it will most likely be in the facelifted guise.

Internationally, the Lexus NX is available with two powertrain options - a 2.0-litre turbo petrol rated at 235 BHP and 350 NM and a 2.5-litre petrol hybrid setup which is similar to the powertrain on offer with the ES 300h that is already on sale in India.

If Lexus brings the NX to India, it will sit below the RX 450h and will compete against the likes of the Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA.
